Early layer in the cockroach factory: jungle innovations
RTL sends a new crowd of half-celebrities to Australia. As usual, their adaptation to lousy food, animals and camp conflicts. But the audience also has to get used to it.
It is no secret that the jungle camp is not only before, but also behind the camera. There are few television productions for which a similar logistical effort is carried out, as for the happy maggot tasting in distant Australia.
Jungle camp gag Micky Beisenherz summarized the work rhythm in his “Stern” column as follows: “Strictly? Well, work for 16 nights between 14 and 22 hours at a time.”
One reason: if you want to send it live from Australia to the German evening program, you have to start very early – because of the time shift. If it is up to midnight in Europe, the day in Down Under has only started. This affects the work processes.
Start at 5.15 a.m. “Queensland-time”
In the new season, which runs on RTL and RTL+ from 8:15 p.m. from 8:15 p.m., the clock will now be shot again, so to speak. Because RTL changes the radiation rhythm and pushes its reality tanker continuously to the prominent broadcasting station at 8:15 p.m. German time. For the first time, all 17 live shows for prime time will be shown – this is a novelty. So far, the later evening was considered a classic jungle time after 10 p.m.
This also means that the moderator duo Sonja Zietlow and Jan Köppen will have to report to the camera earlier in the future. A start at 8:15 p.m. German time means 5.15 a.m. “Queensland-Zeit”, as RTL explains.
A spokesman also explains: “For our experienced moderators and part of the production employees, the 20:15 o’clock appointment means an earlier work in Australia, but at the same time also a daily daily rhythm.” “Layer systems” work at every time a day. In this way, high-quality live entertainment can be “realized 17 days in a row”.
Recipe: a little zoff, disgust and willingness to expose
The new transmission area, which had been speculated in the industry for some time, is the most striking change in the 2025 edition. However, he alone should not bring a spice to the new jungle soup-the participating multi-or-minder celebrities are needed, a little zoff, disgust, willingness to move out and the usual overestimation.
That is why RTL has also tried hard after a first careful assessment. On the casting list you can find tried out rioters from other shows, a few surprising names and all sorts of biographical ballast, which you could spread out quite well by the campfire.
“Now it’s over with fun”
Lilly Becker, model and ex-wife of tennis legend Boris Becker sets off. In the lead to the jungle showdown, the 48-year-old gives the impression of being on a kind of mission. “Many people misused my name last year and talked about me,” she said, for example, RTL. “And now it’s over with fun: Lilly, show yourself!” For people who hope for further insights into the eventful Becker-Kosmos, this should sound promising.
Alessia Herren brings another known name to the jungle. She presents herself in a proven manner as the successor to her died father Willi Herren (1975-2021), who was part of the pioneers of the format in 2004.
“It is a very nice feeling to know that my father was in the jungle 20 years ago, exactly where I am now,” said Alessia Herren RTL entirely. However, she recently showed that the 23-year-old can formulate less gently in the RTL format “Summer House of the Stars”. Formulations were put away several times.
With decathlon legend Jürgen Hingsen (66), the mandatory ex-sports route is there, with Timur ülker (35) the often obliged type of “good times, bad times” actor. With actor Pierre Sanoussi-Bliss (62, “The Old”) someone comes to the jungle who is unused in reality programs and says sentences like: “I am diversity in one person: as an ossi, as a gay, as a black man. More is not possible at first “(Source: RTL).
Will a “reality legend” jungle queen?
At the other end of the reality experience scale, Yeliz Koç and Maurice Dziwak must be sorted. Koç (31, “The Bachelor”) is even called “reality legends” by RTL in her profile, which gives the profession a certain gravity somewhat against the profession.
Dziwak (“Are You The One? Reality Stars in Love”), on the other hand, is managed as a “reality star”. The 26 -year -old from Oberhausen is – in order to formulate it with a cautious manner – as strongly opinionful, which can be helpful depending on the dose in order to bring some momentum into the social structure around the campfire.
And what’s new this year? This time the first participants had to break into the wilderness two days before the start of the spectacle. “Completely surprised,” said RTL, half of the camper from their hotel rooms were first shone to the helicopter and then into the jungle. The rest followed a day later.
It is also about 100,000 euros
The most popular luxury objects – everyone can have two – are pillows, soft toys and facial cosmetics this year. Schlager singer Anna-Carina Woitschack, like Dahlmann, brought her earplugs to shield herself against stress, snorer and campfire gossip. Koç has an auxiliary object with him so as not to have to put himself on the toilet.
Ülker takes a family photo to the camp: “So that I know what I fight for and never forget where I come from.” Actress Nina Bott (“GZSZ”) has chosen Australian lip care that she has sweared for 20 years.
A total of twelve celebrities fight for victory and 100,000 euros. If you want to survive everything, you should have a reasonably slept.
